This course serves as an introduction to programming for Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) majors and others with a strong interest in the discipline of ECE. The course will focus on broad theoretical concepts as well as language syntax. Students will learn how to program in this course by using C programming language. This course will help students develop the critical thinking skills to design the logic flow for a program, irrespective of the programming language. Students will learn how to create structured, procedural programs using variables, functions, control statements and structures, memory management, and pointers. By the end of the course, students will be comfortable with the key concepts, techniques, and software development tools used for writing programs in C to solve engineering problems. The course will focus heavily on applications, tie every aspect of programming to specific applications. Students will design, write, and debug computer programs. No prior knowledge of programming is assumed. Regular and frequent practice will help understand the concepts of programming. The course will usually require 10 to 15 hours per week of programming.

This class has two parts: 1) Lecture session followed by 2) Lab session in the same room. Both are MANDATORY to attend.

Lecture Time: MWF 9:20-10:15AM
